A chimney sweep will certainly do a thorough chimney cleaning to remove any type of deposits, residue, creosote, as well as blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys cause injuries and fires annually. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept every year in order to protect against fires.
A chimney service professional will perform a complete cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are actually not effective and are not advised. They will not remove all the soot and creosote accumulation out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning technician will shield the inside of your home by spreading tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fireplace with plastic sheets, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the industrial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outdoors. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later.
Next off, they will brush the whole chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension rods. Usually they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, thoroughly brushing all the surface areas. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will then peel back a small portion of the vinyl sheet and use a variety of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned up. The plastic sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like material which forms from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which initially can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it comes to be tar-like, and is harder to eliminate, in some cases requiring the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Solidified creosote can start to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is extremely hefty, it restricts the air flow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is dangerous in a couple of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence in danger of fires.
Creosote accumulation triggers diminished air movement and this can allow carbon monoxide to develop inside your home while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It might cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer creating).
The most harmful aspect of creosote is that it is extremely flammable. It's the most typical cause of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high level of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep executed is the very best and also most effective way to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take fantastic care of your chimney and also your home. We suggest that you get your chimney cleaned and checked at the very least annually in order to avoid fires and poisonous build up.
How often a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it and also what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be inspected annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, debris, fractures and various other concerns can develop which can permit carbon monoxide gas to get into the house.
Oil burning flues need to be cleaned yearly to prevent residue from building up.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop even more residue and creosote, they ought to be swept more often. A good rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
